The next days after that day on the shed was relatively peaceful. It felt like the stalker was also taking some time off from his own game. It felt like my wish of living a quiet and ordinary life was granted.
His occasional messages would remind of the brutal reality that I was currently living with. His dark presence lingers even on the moments when he doesn't contact me.
I was still trying to find the right timing in telling Ed what I learned about Ashton during that day. It seemed like whenever I tried to talk to him, something would come up or would interrupt us.
Luke also stopped pestering me. Like we seemed to have reached an understanding of not getting on each other's nerves. I also did see Charity hovering over him like a mother hen on her chicks.
